10 parts Ongoing Back then, he was nothing more than a name whispered in hallways.
Caiel Lucian Villafuerte - rich, quiet, untouchable. The senior everyone admired but no one really knew. Rumors followed him everywhere, and Vivian Alcantara never cared to find out which ones were true.
She was too busy living her own life - playing games, skipping reviews, laughing with friends. Just an ordinary girl with ordinary dreams.
